Encapsulated Transformer

Product Overview & Application

Slide1

Encapsulated (Potted) Transformers (also referred to as Epoxy Resin Encapsulated) are designed for applications where the environmental conditions would not permit a general purpose ventilated dry type transformer. The entire transformer core & coil is encased in a silica sand / polyurethane mixture which protects the windings from any airborne contaminants and moisture. 

Typical areas of use include:

  • Corrosive Environments: Petro-Chemical, steel, pulp and paper industries
  • Damp conditions: Mines, pump-houses underground or rooftop service areas
  • Industrial applications: processes with high degree of airborne dust or conductive particles

Features & Benefits

Slide2

  • Mixture of silica sand resin forming a solid mass completely encloses and protects the core and coil, also significantly reduces audible noise.
  • Windings utilize Class 220°C Insulating rated for 150°C Rise, but designed to operate at 115°C maximum.
  • The transformer's core is solidly grounded.
  • Enclosure constructed from heavy gauge steel, coated with ASA#61 grey powder paint
  • Suitable for NEMA/CSA Type 3R and Type 4 Enclosure applications for both indoor and outdoor
  • Spacious wiring compartment, cool and easily accessible (bottom or front access may depend on size)
